He was executed before my mother's eyes.— His sister

او جلوی چشم مادرم اعدام شد.

Mr. Dadashi's brother: “I always said I did not want the killer to be executed. Even now I say that I am not happy that he was executed, and I am even upset. We had no role in his execution. My family and I were against the qisas (retribution) of the killer. With his execution he found rest and left, but we suffer every day.”— Mr. Dadashi's brother

برادر آقای داداشی: «من همیشه گفتم که دوست ندارم قاتل اعدام شود. الان هم می‌گویم از این‌که او اعدام شد خوشحال نیستم و حتی ناراحت هم هستم. ما هیچ نقشی در اعدامش نداشتیم. من و خانواده‌ام با قصاص قاتل مخالف بودیم. او با اعدام‌شدنش راحت شد و رفت ولی ما هر روز داریم عذاب می‌کشیم.»
